[Intro]
CGAmFCGAmFCG
I walked through the door with you, the air was cold
AmF
But somethin' 'bout it felt like home somehow
CG
And I left my scarf there at your sister's house
AmF
And you've still got it in your drawer, even now
( CGAmF )
CG
Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze
AmF
We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate
CG
Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place
AmF
And I can picture it after all these days
C
And I know it's long gone and
G
That magic's not here no more
AmG
And I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all
FGF/CG
Oh, oh, oh
CG
'Causе there we arе again on that little town street
AmF
You almost ran the red 'cause you were lookin' over at me
C
Wind in my hair, I was there
GAmF
I remember it all too well
CG
Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turning red
AmF
You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed
CG
And your mother's telling stories 'bout you on the tee-ball team
AmF
You taught me 'bout your past, thinking your future was me
C
And you were tossing me the car keys
GAm
"Fuck the patriarchy" keychain on the ground
F
We were always skipping town
C
And I was thinking on the drive down
GAm
Any time now, he's gonna say it's love
F
You never called it what it was
C
'Til we were dead and gone and buried
G
Check the pulse and come back
Am
Swearing it's the same
F
After three months in the grave
C
And then you wondered where it went to
G
As I reached for you
Am
But all I felt was shame
F
And you held my lifeless frame
C
And I know it's long gone and
G
There was nothing else I could do
Am
And I forget about you long enough
GFGCG
To forget why I needed to
CG
'Cause here we are again in the middle of the night
AmF
We're dancing 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator light
C
Down the stairs, I was there
GAmF
I remember it all too well
C
And there we are again
G
When nobody had to know
Am
You kept me like a secret
F
But I kept you like an oath
C
Sacred prayer and we'd swear
GAmF
To remember it all too well, yeah
( CGAmFGG )
C
Well maybe we got lost in translation
G
Maybe I asked for too much
Am
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece
F
'Til you tore it all up
C
Running scared, I was there
GAmF
I remember it all too well
C
And you call me up again
G
Just to break me like a promise
AmF
So casually cruel in the name of being honest
CG
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
AmF
'Cause I remember it all, all, all
C
They say "All's well that ends well"
GAm
But I'm in a new hell every time
F
You double-cross my mind
CG
You said if we had been closer in age
Am
Maybe it would have been fine
F
And that made me want to die
C
The idea you had of me, who was she?
GAm
A never-needy, ever lovely jewel
G
Whose shine reflects on you
C
Not weeping in a party bathroom
G
Some actress asking me what happened
Am
You
F
That's what happened: you
CG
You, who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes
AmF
Sipping coffee like you were on a late night show
C
But then he watched me watch the front door
G
All night, willing you to come
Am
And he said, "it's supposed to be fun
F
Turning 21"
( CGAmF )
CG
Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it
AmF
I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it
CG
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
AmF
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone
CG
But you keep my old scarf from that very first week
AmF
'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me
C
You can't get rid of it
GAmF
'Cause you remember it all too well, yeah
CG
'Cause there we are again when I loved you so
AmF
Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known
C
It was rare, I was there
GAmF
I remember it all too well
C
Wind in my hair, you were there
G
You remember it all
Am
Down the stairs, you were there
F
You remember it all
C
It was rare, I was there
GAmF
I remember it all too well
C
And I was never good at telling jokes
Am
But the punchline goes
FG
"I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age"
CAm
From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones
FG
I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight
CAm
And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?
FG
Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?
FF
Cause in this city's barren cold
GG
I still remember the first fall of snow
F
And how it glistened as it fell
FCAm
I remember it all too well
FG
Just between us did the love affair maim you
CAm
All too well
FG
Just between us, do you remember it
CAm
All too well
FGC
Just between us, I remember it all too well
[Outro]
(C) Am
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
FG
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
CAm
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
FG
It was rare, you remember it (all too well)
CAm
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
FG
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
CAm
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
FG
It was rare, you remember it
CAm
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
FG
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
CAm
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
FG
It was rare, you remember it
CAm
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
FG
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
CAm
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
FG
It was rare, you remember it
[Outro] CAm
